# How does post translation work?

### Overview

Steeple offers a feature for **automatic translation** of posts and comments. This feature requires a specific subscription.

### How it works

#### Translating a post

When the feature is enabled, a translation button appears on posts written in a language different from the user's.

* The post is automatically translated into the **user's language** (defined in the account settings)
* The original language of the post is automatically detected when it is written

#### Translating comments

Comments can also be translated individually using the same mechanism.

### Supported languages

Translation uses an automatic translation service that supports a wide range of languages. The target language is always the one configured in the user's preferences.

### Requirements

* The organization must have the translation subscription
* The user must have a language different from the post's

### What the assistant can do

The assistant cannot translate posts. It can explain how translation works and how to set your language in the settings.
